    External HDD files compiled into one shortcut?
    « on: August 03, 2015, 01:57:59 PM »
    My external HDD has always been connected to the pc as a drive, but now when I open the drive, I see this shortcut icon of the HDD.
    Only after I open this shortcut that I get to view my files in the drive. Its really inconvenient because when I try to save files in that HDD now, somehow the shortcut icon and my files don't appear.
    Can anyone help?

    Did you try disconnecting and re-connecting the external drive?
